Fun atmosphere
Kristi B.

4 stars means will rerun cuz was so good! A chorizo omelette was tasty and not too hot. We split it and the homemade cinnamon roll. Was perfect. Coffee was good and they have French vanilla for those who love creamer with a little coffee! A nice place to eat when in town to see the Royals!

This place is very spacious and roomy. People were super friendly. But the best part was getting to sit in the silo. I may be 52 but felt like a kid getting to sit in there. If you want a cinnamon roll or sticky bun be prepared for a huge roll and it's super tasty. Everything else is typical breakfast finds, however very flavorful. I my family will be back!!

Onion rings
Frank S.

We arrived at 8:20 and they close at 9:00 typically most restaurants would be dropping not so subtle hints to hurry up but not our waitress she kept refilling our drinks and gave us excellent service. Next was the food, we shared the onion rings as an appetizer and the breading was amazing and they were perfectly crunchy on the outside. We ordered the meatloaf sandwich, waffles and a slice of coconut cream pie. All together Corner Cafe checked off my three boxes for a restaurant great food, great service and great prices. I would definitely go back and if you haven't been I'd suggest going.

Kicked off breakfast with coconut cream pie. Why wait have the pie! Finished with biscuits and gravy. The pie is so rich and creamy it's hard to believe. I always start with pie at Corner Cafe. Mainly eat breakfast here but who says chicken fried chicken isn't good at 7:30 am. Last time here it worked just fine. This time others in our party had omelettes, pancakes, bacon and hash browns. No complaints when the food is this good. As usual the parking lot and restaurant were packed. Somehow our server kept up with all our needs. The kitchen also had every order correct. Good job. Inside looks like an old time cafe with old signs and even an Indian brand motorcycle. Take the family, everyone can have what they want and will be sure to enjoy it.

Hash Browns and sausage gravy
Tim P.

We had a wonderful breakfast here. Both the food and service were great. Started with some coffee and ordered quickly. Our food arrived fast. I got eggs, sausage patties, hash browns, with a side order of gravy. It was enough gravy for three of us to share. Everyone's eggs were cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the hash browns. My wife got the corned beef hash with eggs. She loved the hash. Our friend got eggs and bacon with grits and cheese. She enjoyed the grits. They give you a lot of food. Has kind of the old diner feel to the place.

That's a 3 dollar glass of milk, if you want to call it a glass. Biscuit was cold and hard. 23 dollars for a basic breakfast. Eat somewhere else.

Cinnamon Roll
Nikki J.

Very busy in an early Sunday afternoon, but the wait wasn't too long. Only about 20 minutes at most, which considering the number of people in the lobby you would have thought it'd be longer. Our server was great, prompt, and attentive. I'm always pleased to be blessed with a server who cares. She kept our waters refilled and asked each visit if there was something else we might need. Now let's get to the food. The cinnamon roll was the highlight of our visit. It was fresh out of the oven, plenty of icing. Delightful !! As for the pancakes, they were standard as well as the syrup. I chose to order a couple of chicken tenders (not pictured) to accompany them but didn't get the taste I was hoping for. Wanted the sweet and savory from the pancakes and the crunch and salty from the chicken. However, the chicken had a slight crunch but no seasoning. I would definitely go back but will try other menu items in addition to another cinnamon roll Please!!

Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs
Vi G.

We got sat pretty instantly. The food came, almost instantly, as well. Hubs loved his French Toast Combo. We also ordered the fairly large Cinnamon Roll (Togo). I had the Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs. The Chicken Fried Steak had tons of chewy pieces . I had to spit them out. 5-10 mins after receiving the food, the server literally placed our check on the table. That just rubbed me the wrong way. Restaurant wasn't as busy so I was curious as why the rush.

Menu
Cory W.

Great service. Drinks are not included with child meals. Sides are not included in burger/entree prices. Not a lot of fries for extra side price $3.50. Cookies given at the end were a pleasant and appreciative surprise. Food was good. Left full. Would like to come back and try some of their pies!

Blueberry muffin, fried okra

We visited on 1/21/26. Although the temperature outside was frightful, our service and food was…read moreDEFINITELY delightful! Our party of four was seated promptly in a comfortable booth. The menu is MASSIVE! I would recommend previewing it on its website rather than being overwhelmed by all of the choices. I ordered the Tri-Tip-Dip Deluxe. The ciabatta was fabulous. The beef tender. I loved the grilled onions, mushrooms and Swiss cheese option. VERY GOOD! I had delicious sweet potato fries. Awesome! Creamy inside and crispy crunch on the outside. Best sweet potato fries I've had yet in the KCMO area. My husband enjoyed Bob's Big Burger Deluxe with Blue Cheese. He shared a bite with me. The burger was JUICY and grilled to perfection. He chose French fries and scarfed 'em up. I would happily have given this place a five star review. But for some reason, 90% of the patrons were all seated in one area - OUR area. While our sweet server was running her tail off, attempting to meet all of our and others needs, three servers were chit chatting in plain sight. I blame the manager on duty for lacking organizational discipline. #btw - the sandwiches were so large, we will order just one next time and share! This first visit, we were able to enjoy our leftovers the next day for lunch.

Great Diner, delicious grits, and fantastic service…read more Prices are fair and portions are huge. I got the chicken avocado club, and it was real chicken that didn't taste like the typical processed crap. The burger was excellent and cooked to order. We live around the corner, so we'll definitely be back.
